The use of glasses or contacts varies between different people.  Some people are able to perform everyday functions without the use of a special aid, sometimes only wearing a pair of reading glasses to see in great detail.  At the same time, many people with vision difficulties cannot trust their surroundings without consistently wearing a visual aid.  Though the prevalence of contacts makes it less conspicuous that a person has impaired vision, they require a greater amount of upkeep than typical prescription glasses.

Why is it that so many new reading glass wearers think of their school librarian why they learn they have to wear reading glasses?

 For starters, your school librarian was certainly at least 20 years older than you are now and her sense of style was not nearly as good as yours. And on top of that, the readers she had access to were probably no more than those half-eye, heavy metal rimmed frames with that loopy stringy thing hanging off the temples and around her neck.

 Well you can relax. For starters, you look a million times better than your librarian did (or at least that image that is still stored in your head) and the fashionable reading glasses available today are so much sexier than what use to be available.
